Where have the authors gone?

[Niceguy2000]

Recently, four - five of my favorite authors have quit posting.
Previously, they were pretty prolific.

Has anyone else noticed an exodus?
Any ideas why...new forum rules perhaps?
(Though none wrote underage or restricted stuff).

Or is it just like the store quit stocking my favourite pizza?

there are like buttloads of authors on this site that have vanished

There have been some issues with the publishing process. Long approval times, rejections for suspected use of AI, formatting glitches. It's possible the writers became so frustrated with Lit that they gave up.

Alternatively, maybe recent goings-on in the world have killed their desire to write erotica.

I know the recent rules drove several prolific posters off the forums, but the story area wasn't as badly hit, until the last few months.

I suspect it is the organization challenges and changes here rather than anything external. The other amateur author multi genre posting sites seem to be doing fine.

I'm still here.

Pending limbo.
